“I often think that, if there were some way of learning Welsh painlessly and overnight – perhaps by placing a disk under one’s pillow and waking up in full command of the language, most people in Wales would eagerly try it. Alas, there’s no such magic technology – not yet. But a new technique on the market is the next best thing. Cadw Swn consists of ten CDs and a handsome course file designed to take you from absolute beginning to reasonable fluency in Welsh…

…you may find that you can pick up Welsh more quickly than you thought.”

Meic Stephens in the Western Mail, the national newspaper of Wales.

“a refreshing approach… …with each lesson comes a wealth of new vocabulary (which you pick up effortlessly – much more effectively than learning lists off rote) and an immediate improvement in reading ability… … a complete package that covers all the elements necessary for a beginner.”

Rachel Treadaway, BBC Online
